Lots of randomness in my life lately with the move. Here are some good
things I've been enjoying.

Eating breakfast or lunch at Toast. Like American diner food
only high quality and carefully prepared. The new place at 24th and
Sanchez is just as good as the original at 29th and Church, only
with twice the seating.

Watching Planet Earth in HD on my Samsung
A650 TV. Clear bright colours, beautiful subtlety in the
mid-tones. My new home is my first time having an HDTV and every time
I see the flock of tiny white birds all crisp on a dark blue background my jaw drops. Even better is
the beautifully rich brown tones of the African plains.

Cleaning up contractor mistakes with Goof Off and Goo Gone. For all
I know Goof Off is just paint thinner in a can, but it's great at
removing stray bits of paint. And Goo Gone is
the master at removing sticky residues from hard surfaces: tape gunk,
grease, etc. The web site says it's "a combination of Citrus Power
and scientific technology," which is nearly meaningless, but it smells
like oranges and works great.

Playing Viva Piñata: Trouble in
Paradise. It's the game Spore should have been, a cute and
engaging garden simulation game. You entice colourful animals to live
in your garden with good husbandry. It's dressed up in kid's
game clothes but has a lot of depth to it.
